Description
Recto and verso of postcard illustrated with a drawing by Charles H. Overly of the Governor's Palace Kitchen. The sketch depicts two costumed interpreters demonstrating colonial food preparation techniques by the large open fireplace. Overly carefully delineated many details of the kitchen furnishings and utensils, including a meat roaster, a butter churn, teapots, ladles, and toasting racks.
The caption reads: "In this outbuilding of the home of the Royal Governor food was cooked over an open fire, to be carried into the house by servants. The building was reconstructed with the Palace and is open to the public."
